Crash Crash Crash and oh look! More crashes...

[Noir]

For the past 2 days i've tried to play this game.. Getting no further than turn 25+ in a single player Empire IE campaign.. I started with mods crashed a lot. So naturally i figured mods must be causing it. Playing with fewer mods still crashing.

So i decided to turn them all off. Oh still crashing... I guess i chose a perfect time to play the game again because it's literally rotten to the core..

Every single playthrough is just crash after crash....

Never had a single crash.

Try turning off your mods.

Tell me you didn't read the post without telling me you didn't read it

Small family company jokes were never more relevant when they themselves revealed there's like 20 people (and like a single guy wrestling with spaghetti code) working on their supposed flagship title and biggest moneymaker.

I have found that mods sometimes leave something behind which can cause crash to desktop. On very rare occasions a manual deletion is necessary, at least in my own experience going right back to WH1. That might be the issue I think.

For my part, 4 crash in the 10 first turn of a VC campaign. Crash when putting point in characters trees (2 times), crash when ending the first fight of the campaign, crash when taking a city ... I had crashes in the past but from long campaign with 40-60 turns already, not beginning one.

So, you are saying the patch is not the cause of the endless crashes people have now? Well, considering that the amount of crashes heavily increased after the patch, it seems the patch is the cause.
But why do I even waste time with you, you are a blind CA defender

No, it's mods. If it was the patch, then everyone would be crashing, yet I haven't crashed once.

Be interesting to see what the root cause of this is.


Also what your specs OP?

Yeah it's interesting that whatever it is seems to only affect certain people. There's just as many people saying they aren't having the crashing as people saying there are.

Suppose we just have to wait for a hot fix patch hopefully soon.

ah, the typical " It didn't happen to me, so it doesn't exist and you are lying" mentality that so many CA fanboys have.

Oh its a massive defence warrior over the game, literally endless threads created over the tiny change in percentage in reviews and not a negative word to say despite literal evidence infront of it

For someone who hates the game so much, you sure do spend alot of your time on the games forums.. weird behavior.

For someone who doesnt see a single fault you sure do spent alot of your time not playing this perfect game, blinker behaviour.
Until recently I havent posted on here for a month so you pay as much attention here to the game clearly.
Please point out where I said I hate the game rather than the obvious flaws the game has and needs pointing out.

Have you ever played a single game ever....this is laughable logic when PC gaming especially is infamous for different PC's of different builds with different OS with different DX and different etc etc etc giving different results.

Youre basically saying everyone who ever reported a crash is a liar and when looking at YOUR posts over the last month you just parrot over and over " Its mods " despite admitting you never use them so you have no clue what youre talking about do you.

The only time it crashed was when I raged quit, ctrl-alt-del and ended task, started up the same battle was winning then, boom. Crash. (The game's way of getting revenge?)Then I decided to just auto-resolve it, won, and haven't had a crash since.

Not at all, which is why I'd agree with your naysayers as much as I'd hear out the other side.

Personally, I've had no issues with 3.0. Only two mods used though, both of which introduced post patch... and none used before it or even ever with this game on this PC. And there's something to a mite of Nurgle's idea up there... I mean it happens with drivers and other apps so stands to reason etc considering how deep into the code (yes, spaghetti is a good description still) they can root.

It's not like I haven't given CA short shrift myself in critique of the game/series so far either. Nor gone without (worse, so far) issues with it all myself. One of which killed WH2 dead, wouldn't launch/run at all for 6 whole months, Dec 2017-May 2018, before eventually somehow fixing itself one day when I checked again. And both apropos of nothing, no changes that were known or flagged, and all else re PC and gaming being absolutely fine. Worse, not any fix, even the most extreme, worked, and I spent 2 weeks doing nothing but try. Nobody else had an issue anything like it and neither ppl here and CA/TW support were any help but then, it was certainly an outlier. You'd best believe I was pissed though and gave CA grief over that as that window it broke for coincided with my best opportunity to play it for years.

Thing is, re 3.0 it's not affecting everybody, nm equally. How much and why that is though is a good question worth digging over. And we get it... it's frustrating as all hell... but some questions have to be asked; specs, drivers, mods aso... if any sense is to be made of it at all, nm any resolution found.
